Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Jayden Higgins

Saturday, September 13, 8:24 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will take on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. Mitchell only played on 15 snaps in Week 1's win over the Miami Dolphins, catching both of his targets for 21 yards. The Broncos represent a difficult matchup for the Colts' pass-catchers this weekend as they shut down the Tennessee Titans' pass attack in Week 1. Mitchell is not playing enough to be trustworthy in fantasy and should remain on benches heading into Week 2.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins did lead his team in receiving yards in Week 1, but the offense struggled so badly against the Rams that he still only had 32 yards on two catches. He'll look for better totals in Week 2 against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in the early game of the doubleheader. Higgins only played 43% of snaps, working behind veterans Xavier Hutchinson and Justin Watson. He drew three targets and converted two into catches, but the third was ripped out of his hands by Cobie Durant for an interception. Higgins flashed some upside, but the fact that he played so few snaps in an offense that struggled so much makes him hard to trust in Week 2. He's the WR67 in the RotoBaller rankings for Week 2, and he should be on the bench in most formats until he gets a larger role. The rookie still has long-term potential, but the offense would have to find its groove to make him a fantasy factor.
